Vietnam have officially booked the last berth in the 2019 Asian Cup round of 16 with better disciplinary points against Lebanon, who had to bid farewell to the tournament despite their brilliant 4-1 victory over DPR Korea in their last Group E clash on the night of January 17 (local time).

Vietnam missed out on their first point in the 2019 Asian Cup as the 2007 champions Iraq came from behind twice to beat Park Hang-seo’s side 3-2 in their Group D opener at Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on the evening of January 8.
